Phantom Ride Phantom

Imagina 2018 / Phantom Ride Phantom / Austria 2017

Austrian film structuralist Siegfried A. Fruhauf takes inspiration from elements of the so-called phantom rides of silent film and transforms them into a distinctively original spectral trip, in which he tackles symmetry and perspective, and sets in motion an eternal conflict between industrial technology and elusive nature.

Synopsis

In the early days of motion pictures, so-called phantom rides were short films that were shot from a moving train, allowing speed and the passing landscape to create excitement. Austrian film structuralist Siegfried A. Fruhauf takes inspiration from elements of these films and transforms them into a typically original phantasmal trip, in which he tackles symmetry and perspective, and sets in motion an eternal conflict between industrial technology and elusive nature.
